Not really. I'm one of the few on this board that thinks that, given what was in the Starr Report, impeachment was debatable. I really don't care about Lott's move on impeachment.
My bigger concern is that Lott's faux pas will set back the Republican cause by as much as 10 years. Because of an ill-considered comment by a Southern good-ol'-boy, Republicans are now on the defensive about race again -- just as we were beginning to make inroads.
His comment was so incredibly stupid that he is not qualified to continue as Senate Majority leader. We can do better.

Instead of acquiescing to the rats again, it's time to go on the offensive (see post #62).
